Replace Rival rear derailleur with a long cage X0 derailleur. Both for a clutch mech and to allow for a bigger cassette, because:Done.Dial in second wheelset. 650b with tubeless 2.0" RaceKing tyres and an 11-36 cassette.Done.While doing this I'll also replace the rear rotor with a 160mm rotor, because I couldn't stand non-matching rotors.On the 650b wheelset the rotors seem to be slightly more outboard, I plan to re-adjust the calipers for this rotor position and use washers to shim out the rotors on the 700c wheelset to match. Should work, right? And adjust the reach / lever position while I'm doing this.Done.Get rid of the front derailleur and install a 42t narrow wide ring. Gear ranges seem to be quite okay for both wheelsets.Done.Install bottom bracket.Done.Replace tyres with 30mm G-Ones?*No.Re-readjust the disc brakes. I hate mechanical disks.Done.File down the chainring bolts for single-ring set-up.Done.All the necessary maintenance seems to be finished. Did a quick lap around the block to make sure nothing will fall off on its first proper ride tomorrow. 🤞🏼
